Families are Forever

I absolutely treasure family photo sessions! My family did not do annual family photos, we have very few professional family photos. Besides scheduling photo sessions another issue is that mothers and fathers are usually taking the photos, therefore removed from the snapshot. When I look back on photos it's always fun to see my parents in the photos and how different they looked.
Setting up a professional family session allows parents to be involved. I always think it's such a great thing to do for the children.
Here is one lovely family from this fall! I am loving all the different break outs we did here!

Yogas Chitta Vritti Nirodaha

Today I wanted to mix a passion with a passion. My love for photography has combined with my love of yoga. I'm grateful for my yogi friends in these photos who I've spent the past 3 months with! 

"Yoga does not remove us from the reality or responsibilities of everyday life, but rather places our feet firmly and resolutely in the practical ground of experience. We don't transcend our lives; we return to the life we left behind in the hopes of something better."

Happiness and Love

I couldn't wait to share this engagement session with you! I'm so happy with the way these turned out! 

An engagement session is a wonderful time to get to know a couple and their personality. This couple is so fun and happy it really lets me look into the crystal ball and foresee an awesome wedding day! 

A photographer gets invited to capture special moments in time, it allows us to get a glimpse of others lives. For me, it was easy to see the happiness and love these two radiate. 

 I hope you enjoy the photos of Mike and Kristi as much as I do!

Having someone to love is FAMILY

Being a part of a family means you are part of something wonderful. It means you will love and be loved for the rest of your life. No matter what.

It's awesome to capture a family portrait and get to know the personality of the family! Here is a family where their love is obvious and fun!

I'm so happy that this couple were brave enough to do a few photos of just them!! This is so special since usually you only get these photos for engagement or wedding day, rarely after.

I hope you enjoy these FUN family photos as much as I do!

Adorable and in Love

     I couldn't be more in love with these photos of an in love couple! There is something so special about being invited in to capture and share a couple's love. The energy and space they allow you to enter is magical. It's so fun for me to be behind the camera listening to the giggles, watching the sweet glances at one another, and truly absorbing the personality of the couple.
Here is one of my recent engagement sessions Sam and Jodi. I love her creativity with the pumpkin save-the-dates...did you put this on Pintrest yet Jodi???

Fall Weddings

     I always embrace Autumn with open arms. As sad as I am to see summer go, there is something so refreshing about fall.  Whether it's the crisp air, the colorful leaves, or the feeling of a warm beverage in hand with a chill in the air, fall is a very enjoyable time of year! Fall weddings are becoming more and more common. And I am loving them! Today I wanted to share a wedding I photographed in September, the beautiful couple, Anna & Jesse.

The word Whimsical, comes to mind!

Such a fun group of girls! They duplicated "Bridesmaids" movie cover!

Stunning bride!

Just for fun!

Love capturing these moments!

What an awesome detail to share with your guests!
